Geography
Ur-Energy’s operations are concentrated in Wyoming, where it controls the Lost Creek property and the Shirley Basin project, along with other uranium properties in the Great Divide Basin.

Risks
Ur-Energy is exposed to uranium price volatility, a limited customer base, and the challenge of securing additional sales contracts on acceptable terms. Its operations also depend on permitting, technical execution at ISR mines, and regulatory conditions in the U.S. nuclear and mining sectors.

Impact: Can affect gross margin and inventory carrying value
Sales are recognized on transfer of product, and deliveries occur irregularly under contract terms.
Impact: Quarterly revenue can be lumpy
Future cash flows depend on uranium prices, recoverable resources, and operating costs.
